These students will be invited to read their winning submissions. In addition, a percentage of all students whose submissions are deemed to be of outstanding quality also will be honored with a “certificate of distinction.” They also will be invited to attend the Feb. 23, 2020, event.

All recognized students will receive certificates and prizes at the event and the grade-level prize winners will have their work published in a booklet available at the festival.
